How to copy a Rubric from one course to another?

I do not see an option to "copy to" an existing Rubric to another instance of the same course in a new term. It would take a lot of time to have to re-construct the rubric again in the next offering of the same course. Is there any way I can copy the Rubric? Thanks.

Yes, you can. Rather than "copy" the rubric, you are going to "import" it into the target class.

To import, start with the target class. You are going to use the function "import existing content" from the home page.
Make sure to choose the option to "select specific content" from the original course.
Then when you are prompted to "select content," you can import all of the rubrics or whichever ones you want.
To select certain rubrics, click on the arrow key next to the little box to the left of the word "rubrics." Just check the boxes of the rubrics you'd like to import.

@RaymondHudson ...

Thanks to @SusanNiemeyer for providing you with a good set of directions on how to select specific content (such as your rubrics) to import from one course to another. Just in case you'd like to have this as well, I'll provide you with a link to the Guide which includes much of the same information as well as some screenshots:

I hope this extra bit of info will be helpful to you!

The easiest way is to go into the assignment where you need the rubric and depending on the assignment, either click on the three dots in the upper right and select "Add Rubric" or at the bottom of the page, select "Add Rubric." Then, select "Find a Rubric" in the upper right corner of the rubric template. From there, scroll through and find the class that has the rubric you want to use and click it. Then, find the rubric, and select it to import. It will then be imported.

Anyone using Harmonize - if you created a rubric in harmonize - can you copy that rubric to another course that also uses harmonize?

Allow Observers to View Instructor Comments
It would be very beneficial for observers (parents) if they could view instructor comments. If they had access to this information, they could better understand the grading of individual assignments and better understand the errors that their student made.
